Could you please confirm that my hypothesis is correctly formulated? I had to reformulated it after I met my supervisor, and new version you can see down below. If you do not agree that it is correct, could you reply your reformulated version of it? Thank you in advance.


My dissertation research question is:

How does Russia’s soft power strategy affect Georgia’s economic environment under the ruling party, Georgian Dream — Democratic Georgia?

My newly formulated hypothesis is:

The more Russia’s influence increases in Georgia, the more Georgia’s economic environment, particularly the public and private sectors will become affected or controlled by Russia under the ruling party, Georgian Dream — Democratic Georgia.
